Celebrated international textile artist, Helen M. Stevens, will be in Ely demonstrating how you can embroider a lifelike, realistic floral portrait in just one hour.

Featured flowers will be "Heart's-ease" and "Forget-me-not" synchronising with SAAFA's "A Stitch in my Heart" project commemorating the end of WWI. Also including illustrated talk on Helen's signature techniques and a chance to ask her advice on your own embroidery.

Please bring your own small, sharp scissors and an embroidery hoop (tambour hoop) no larger than 6". (Some small hoops may be purchased/borrowed on the day, but numbers are limited!)

Takes place in the Cathedral Centre.
